The great debate - to PC or not to PC

IT leaders have greater choice in end-user devices than ever before. The age of PC-only users is over and we have entered the multiple device era. In this guide, you can find best practice, analysis of the latest trends, and expert advice on formulating enterprise strategy in laptops, desktop PCs and mobile devices.

From the front, the E8181D resembles a flat-screen television with a widescreen display, which can be tilted back to an optimium viewing angle. The PC components are hidden from view and integrated into the rear of the display's base.

The E8181D runs Microsoft Windows XP and is based on either an Intel Celeron processor or a Pentium 4 processor running at a clock speed of 2GHz or higher. The PC will have a hard-disc drive with a capacity of up to 240Gbytes.

The E8181D also includes a DVD-Rom drive, an optional wireless Lan card, built-in speakers and sub-woofer, and a card reader that can accept Multimedia Card, Secure Digital and Memory Stick Pro memory cards. Users can control the E8181D by using a wireless keyboard and mouse or an optional remote control.

Mitac is holding talks with PC suppliers interested in distributing the E8181D under their own brand name, said Royce Chang, a Mitac spokeswoman, declining to name specific companies. Mitac's sister company, Synnex International, will distribute the PC under the Lemel brand name.
